   There are a lot of applications and I don't use very many of them. Kate   
   and KDevelop are polished but I prefer VS Code or Vim.  I miss KNode, the   
   former Usenet client. The extent of my gaming is KPatience and KMahjongg.   
   Konqueror never did much for me. I may play with KDE Connect. However the   
   stuff is there for anyone who can make use of it.   
      
   Oh, and Okular. I forget that one because it isn't a K.  I use Konsole on   
   Ubuntu.

   If she becomes a developer, more power to her. However given the attempts   
   to turn Tameka into a developer since, say, 1965, odds are she will be a   
   beautician specializing in weaves. Unless, of course, she is Japanese then   
   all bets are off.   
      
   Curtis Yarvin has quite a bit to say about effective altruism.
